Moments ago, two college students, believed to be part of an unidentified terrorist group, launched an attack on the city of Gain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">insville. The details of the attack are still bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing collected, but what we know now is that they have struck at the heart of Gain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">insville.

We are on location at Channel 12 and at Gain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">insville Memorial . . ." The mayor of Centervale is concerned that there may be more attacks on the way because Centervale is home to one of the largest nuclear power plants in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the country. Some of the Centervale city officials are concerned about the cost of protectin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing Centervale's nuclear plant in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in conjunction with other important structures. Internal conflicts have arisen between some county commissioners on the issue of how to fairly allocate funds to Centervale's structures that are under threat, such as the airport and water systems. As part of the mayor's Terrorism Assessment and Response Team, your first report assessed the risk to a particularly high-profile venue in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in Centervale. Now, it has become critical to work with a second team, which is analyzin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">information to assess the threat and the counterterrorism efforts toward protectin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing Centervale's nuclear power plant. Here's What You Need to Do . . . Prepare a report (8- to10-page) considerin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the followin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing poin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ints: Perform research on women suicide bombers in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the United States. Evaluate how likely Centervale is to experience a female suicide bomber. Discuss where female suicide bombers are common and what other roles females from nations that support terrorism may play in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in terrorist operations in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in the United States. Research the cost of counterterrorism in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in a post-9/11 era. Has the cost to protect the nation's nuclear power plants risen sin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ince 9/11? Explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in why the general public could in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">interpret blowin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing up nuclear power plants, generally speakin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing, as weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Based on your research, suggest a method to protect Centervale's nuclear power plant from attack without bankruptin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing the city. Research the political aspects of terrorism and the differences of opin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inions that stakeholders might have when it comes to strategies for protectin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing Centervale's most important venues. Explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in how terrorism destabilizes a government. Further, explain" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in how the manner in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in which a city's government handles a terrorist attack (i.e., New York City) in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">influences its mayor's or city official's political position. Recommend a cost-effective antiterrorism train" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing solution for the Centervale Police Department. Discuss how the train" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing can be a proactive approach to deterrence and a reactive approach to an attack.
